Brain-dead TV channels and BJP spokesmen, which are one and the same most nights of the seven-day week, are needlessly taking offence at Navjot Singh Sidhu‘s comment that he feels more at home in Pakistan than South India.

# that one abuse in Punjabi is more powerful than 10 words in English.

Sidhu’s quip is apparently so shocking that a BJP spokesman, yes, actually, a BJP spokesman of all people, calls it an “absolute insult to India’s rich diversity” in which he gratuitously includes language and culture but not religion.
